Amazon Kindle-Library Lending

Thousands more books are going to be available for Amazon.com's Kindle.  Amazon says downlaods of e-books from 11,000 U.S. Libraries will be available later this year.  Most libraries already provide e-books, which work with nearly all epreads except the kindle.  They're also accessible on many smartphones and tablets like the iPad.  Amazon.com says it's working with OverDrive Inc., which runs e-book systems for public libraries, to make the system compatible with the kindle.
